There are some interesting anti-patent initiatives

including prizes as an alternative to patents

Dear Kai,
the output of the CCP4 program 'surface' lists the "accessible area of atom".
Without trying I'd extract those residues with a non-zero entry there.

Isn’t that exactly the idea of a patent? Instead of keeping the invention
a trade secret (occasionally a viable alternative) you publish the invention,
and the inventor (and in general, the supporting institutions) can get
rewarded if someone
I second Gert's thoughts
Best,

A related question. If you have a crystal structure and found a novel
ligand binding site that can be used to regulate protein activity,
could you patent such "binding site"? If not, how to make the best use
of such findings?
I would say that the best one can do with important novel
data/info
